Readit NewsNobody's good at C++. I've written C++ and even got to the point where I felt I had things under control, but tbh that's just delusion and hubris.
Hah, the same could be said about Rust.
And I’d disagree with both.
Please bring this to iOS. WebKit is broken.
If you think WebKit is broken, you should actually download a build of Servo and try it out.

> This is not true of any web browser because of fingerprinting.
Some browsers, like the one you should be using, have anti-fingerprinting tech in them.
You didn’t finish my comment. Read the last sentence.
Anti-fingerprinting tech just produces a different fingerprint. Google knows e.g. when things are scrambled but certain other things stay the same.

their "private" is not private. about a month ago, i searched for some health-related stuff in a chrome incognito window and then immediately afterwards got related sponsored product ads on amazon in a logged in normal window.
This is not true of any web browser because of fingerprinting. That’s the point of fingerprinting for ad networks.
You can try using a different device but even then, I occasionally get recommending things that are definitely influenced by my roommates (i.e. on the same WiFi)
Using something that prevents fingerprinting helps, but only if you don’t use that browser all the time — otherwise it’s just another fingerprint — and still on the same network.
Says this in the article:
> A programming flaw in its cloud services also allowed China-backed hackers to steal email from federal officials. On Friday, Microsoft said it would stop using China-based engineers to support Defense Department cloud-computing programs after a report by investigative outlet ProPublica revealed the practice, prompting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to order a review of Pentagon cloud deals.
Absolutely insane. Especially in light of their layoffs. Should be criminal. According to another comment in the thread, it is?

Right, so this all makes sense so long as you don't take it literally, don't think about it too much, and don't pay attention to the words and the things they say. It should be understood more as dadaist sound poetry.
I’m surprised my example didn’t clarify things.
Literally wasn’t the right word. Maybe control just needs more context, like “control of your usage”?

Just add “agent” to the search box. It’s saved in local storage.

It seems strange that one of the steps is admitting you have no control over your addiction. I feel like the first step should be deciding that you do. But that kind of self assuredness doesn't really align well with whole surrendering to Jeebus thing.
Admitting you have no control is how you stop having “just 1 drink”… because you don’t have control.
You are taking the “no control” thing too literally.
Its fine if you just rebase at the end manually, but not good if you don't, your history will be cluttered and as hard to read as the codebase.
Eventually most people who use coding tools will have low knowledge of what is being generated and then they probably never rebase either...
I just commit with a “wip!”-prefaced message whenever the LLM pauses and says it’s finished, including new files. You can squash and cleanup later, or revert back to a state before it screwed up.
Also doubles as a way to cohesively look at the changes it made without all the natural language and recursive error/type fixing it does while working.
I don’t understand why people are making it so complicated. You’re saving a minute per iteration with the LLM, tops, at risk of losing control or introducing hard to find issues. It is the definition of diminishing returns.
